About 8 months ago purchased a used MMF-5 TT in pristine condition and am very very pleased with it. I like the fact it comes a very good cartridge standard and offers very good platter isolation.(Something to consider if you have kids or if people's footsteps around your rig are an issue.) My TT does have one design feature with the cueing mechanism which you have to be careful about. Namely, if you bring the tonearm too far to the right(away from the platter) the cueing arm/level in the "up position" will not prevent the arm/cartridge from hitting the base. Perhaps newer models are different? Just have to exercise a little extra care. Overall, a great TT and a wonderful way to re-discover/discover vinyl.
$500 total to get into vinyl, what would you buy?
I'm interested in putting together a budget/cheap analog rig to play a few records I have laying around but don't want to put much cash into the system, at the very much $500 for everything, maybe less, and would really appreciate suggestions for used gear at or under this price point. I've heard a Rega P2 and liked its sound, and would appreciate other suggestions, as well as advice towards other accesories needed. Thanks much and happy new year!
